CAPCOM’s most anticipated Resident Evil 4 Remake is launching on March 24, 2023 and it can now be played on the Xbox console via an old trick.

As everyone knows, New Zealand is a country that is the earliest to get content. To take advantage of that, players use that method to play games earlier than everyone else. If you are interested to play earlier on Xbox consoles, check out the steps below:

  1. Sign in to your Xbox console.
  2. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
  3. Select Settings  > All Settings  > System > Language & location.
  4. Select your new location from the Location list, and then select Restart now.

Some players are worried that if they play earlier than the release date and change regions, the content might not be transferrable to the original ones they have. Many players have reported that changing from New Zealand to the original region will still make content playable so you can relax.
